'By the time Nashe understood what was happening to him, he was
past the point of wanting it to end . . .' Paul Auster fuses Samuel
Beckett, Franz Kafka and The Brothers Grimm in this brilliant and
unsettling parable. Following the death of his father, Jim Nashe
takes to the open road in pursuit of a 'life of freedom'. But as
the money runs out he finds that his sense of disillusionment has
only been compounded by his year on the road. However, after
picking up Pozzi, a hitchhiking gambler, Nashe finds himself drawn
into a dangerous game of high-stakes poker with two eccentric and
reclusive millionaires. 'A rare experience of contemporary fiction
at its most thrilling.' New Statesman
